Mississippi calculates child support using statutory guidelines that consider both parents’ incomes, the number of children, and allowable deductions. The court evaluates gross income sources and may include wages, self-employment income, retirement benefits, and other regular income streams. The resulting guideline support figure can be adjusted based on specific circumstances, such as extraordinary childcare costs, medical expenses, or income disparities. Housley Law assists clients in Florence by compiling the necessary financial documentation and explaining how guideline calculations and potential adjustments may apply to your family’s situation. When income is difficult to determine or when self-employment income is involved, the court may look to tax returns, profit and loss statements, and expert financial analysis to reach a fair determination. Accurate and timely financial disclosures are important to achieve a support order that reflects the children’s needs and each parent’s capacity to contribute. Our firm helps clients prepare clear financial submissions and advocate for support arrangements that are sustainable and appropriate under Mississippi law.
